Barack Obama waited until he became
President to become blatant about his corruption: his
stay-out-of-jail-free tickets for all the banksters who had
profited from causing the 2008 collapse, his record-low
prosecution-rate regarding all of the financial elite
crooks (even though Obama came into office right after
an orgy of elite criminality in which banksters had
defrauded the world's investors with faked AAA-rated MBS securities
that they
knew were trash ), his increasing the U.S. production of
global-warming fuels, his sell-outs to the military and to the
NSA-CIA industries, his violation of his campaign promise to
provide a public option in his Obamacare (promised so as to keep
premiums down), and his appointment of 20 campaign bundlers to
ambassadorial posts (sales of ambassadorships so bad that veteran
diplomat
Thomas Pickering expressed dismay that Obama was
blatantly selling so many of these posts to the highest
bidders).

Hillary Clinton isn't waiting
to be elected as President in order to sell out. Not only did she
while First Lady sell out to the HMO industry in crafting her
convoluted national health-insurance plan, and while Secretary of
State
prop up instead of let fall the fascist junta that had
just ousted Honduras's progressive and popular democratically
elected President, and not only is she a big booster of the same
Wall Street firms that Obama is protecting from prosecution, but
she now has been consistently selling out to Big Oil & Gas. She
is a champion of deregulation - the same sort of thing that has
been profiting the aristocracy while it is impoverishing and
poisoning the public.

The few anti-global-warming
activists can just go roast in hell as far as she is concerned.
First of all, while she was the U.S. Secretary of State,
responsible for an environmental impact evaluation of the Koch
brothers' proposed Keystone XL Pipeline to export to Europe (via
their Corpus Christi refineries) the world's dirtiest tar-sands oil
from landlocked Alberta Canada, her State Department produced an
environmental impact statement that was
a triple-hoax : It refused to estimate the impact that the
Pipeline would have on global warming; it was itself subcontracted
out to an oil company services firm; and that petro-friend
subcontractor had no climatologist. The coup de grace of her
sell-out on global warming, however is this:

So: to what corrupt big-money
faction won't she sell out? After all: she's not even President
yet.

NOTE (public disclosure and
explanation): I am a progressive Democrat, and, as such, would
never even consider to vote for a liberal who would split the vote
in a general election and thus cause a Republican to win.
Republicans are conservative; I am progressive. I was thus strongly
opposed to Ralph Nader. My political commitment, therefore, is to
get the Democratic Party to nominate and win with progressive
candidates. I thus would support - for the Democratic Presidential
nomination - Elizabeth Warren, or Sherrod Brown, or Bernie Sanders
converted to the Democratic Party, or else Alan Grayson (whichever
one of those four people would be the first progressive to enter
the contest for the 2016 Democratic Presidential nomination); but I
would never support Hillary Clinton to receive any Democratic
nomination whatsoever, and I believe that her record is actually so
corrupt that if she were to win a Democratic nomination, I would
abstain from voting, because I see her as being at least as corrupt
as is Barack Obama: a traditional Republican dressed deceptively in
modern "Democratic" verbal clothing. I am not merely against
corrupt politicians; I am for politicians whose records suggest
that they would fight vigorously against corruption if they were to
win power. That is the political perspective from which I write,
and is the basis for this article.
